Welcome to Sep and to the minor prophets! In Hosea ch1-3 we see a prophet of God married to a promiscuous woman. She continually leaves him in search of other lovers. Even after Hosea has fathered children and provided a safe home for her, she continues her quest for others. Later, Hosea had to buy his own wife back. Sound familiar? Ok, perhaps not with a wife in prostitution, but definitely a wayward people searching for answers outside of the one true God who has them! How often do we worship our idols? Is that not the same? It is showing lack of commitment to God. Notice how Hosea is faithful and takes back his wife. God takes us back too. This is a story of the faithfulness of God even when we pursue others.
